Can you clarify? May 13, We're not sure, Christopher. That's a great question for a Wonder Journey! Bob May 7, May 9, It is really cool.
So you need a metal stick to make electricity? Apr 29, Hey, rachid-- We suggest doing some research on your own. Dylan Apr 8, Apr 9, This helped me so much in my science fair Thank you Wonderpolis.
Patrick Longe Dec 13, Thomas Edison did not invent the lightbulb, he just modified it after buying the patent from a Canadian inventors Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans. Hannah Jan 29, New Guy Aug 6, Thanks for the information!
Just asking, didn't Franklin catch the lightning in a jar? Aug 9, Jean May 16, Thank you so much! You helped me write my paper by giving me a handful amount of information.

Mainak Mar 3, Does anyone know if Nicola Tesla have any contribution? Milan May 6, Mar 5, Nanditha Feb 1, Feb 5, Jabber Jan 16, Edison did not invent the lightbulb. Humphrey Davy demonstrated electric lighting in using a form of arc light. Later Joseph swan created the first incandescent light bulb and demonstrated it in , 19 years before Edison demonstrated his first bulb. Jan 25, Thanks for sharing, Jabber! Where did you find this information? Yesterdays Gentlemen Aug 24, Oct 8, That's really interesting!
We'd love to know where you discovered this information! BBQQ Nov 21, Nov 26, One thing without which life is purely unimaginable is electricity. Escaping the summer heat or enduring the harsh winters would have been impossible without electricity. Almost all our gadgets use electricity to function, and it is no stretch of the imagination to say that the world would come to a standstill if there were no electricity.
So, did you ever wonder who discovered electricity and when was it first used? The simple answer is Benjamin Franklin, but there is more to the tale than you might know of.

Annalise Oct 14, Oct 17, Sam Oct 12, The first practical uses of electricity as a force that can be controlled to improve productivity were demonstrated in the s by British physicist Michael Faraday , the discoverer of electromagnetic induction.
Recently, we profiled the innovations of Thomas E. Murray, the brilliant engineer who revolutionized the electrical grid of New York City and developed much of the technology which enabled the safe delivery of electricity to buildings.
And then the work of William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain in developing the first commercially successful transistor. With those profiles complete we thought about who would make up the top 10 list for electrical pioneers. Gene founded IPWatchdog. He consults with attorneys facing peculiar procedural issues at the Patent Office, advises investors and executives on patent law changes and pending litigation matters, and works with start-up businesses throughout the United States and around the world, primarily dealing with software and computer related innovations.

Leech off the work of others and prevent innovation in the field. That we still have a seat at the patent table. Electricity is my main wheelhouse in inventing. Much appreciation of your inclusion of William Stanley, who I perceive as being the precedent closest to my own experience. The first traveler was accidentally transported into the ancient past, one Artie Mendez, a well known genius physicist working on the time travel project.
He accidentally transported himself into far past by walking into two convergent monopole beams which had been less than accurately aligned by the ultra high frequency radio energy that was supposed to hold them in place. Several days later he gets spotted by a passing caravan and kidnapped for ransom… His captors can not pronounce his name and simply call him Archemedes….
